As He Asked Her Though you be above me, as I on bended knee. This heart on this pillow, I offer up to thee. I�ve taken pride in what I own, this one of a kind. So please if you accept, be gentle, for it was mine. I ask not in return for yours, but I gladly would accept. Point my mind an direct me, show me the next step. I only wish to win your favor, count me among your list. If I conquer all my foes, all I�m asking is a kiss. My wealth not measured in gold or coin, or trinkets, jewels, or treasure. Only that my love for you, would bring you that much pleasure. Therefore my love I wait for you, standing outside your door. Should you need my presence, I�ll bow to you once more. She Then Replied Rise from your bended knee, rise and take my hand. I will guide and favor you, as a woman to a man. Wealth, jewels, and coin I have, love I had forgot. My wealth squandered easily, true love I would not. We�ll shall share the wonders, the world will offer. You I ask, pay only half, delve into your coffer. Give me half your heart and soul, I�ll match it with mine. If a contract you should need, show me where to sign. As for the kiss, it�s yours my love, I place it on you gently. This love we now share, didn�t happen accidentally. The trail I left for you was clear, I�d hoped you found it soon. Then she turned as she held his hand, and walked to the bedroom. � T.Lovett. 2001 The Masked Writer <-.-> |
